Chapter 386: Three Promises (I)
Jiang Ling returned to Sayama, and the battle of Worm Island was full of dangers and obstacles, and finally ended in defeat. This time, the points were very small, but although Jiang Ling was slightly regretful, he was not so disappointed and resentful.
Jiang Xiaobai's strength is outstanding, and he has taken advantage of the geographical advantage on the holy mountain with abundant spiritual power, and he can only match it. Of course, if he didn't help Xi Jiu after calling out Jing Rong at that time, but concentrated on dealing with Jiang Xiaobai, he could also increase some chances of winning, but it was already in the past, and it was not a mistake to help his teammates, and there was nothing to regret.
This time it was not without gains, what Jiang Ling got himself, plus what Qi Hongyi gave him in the end, there were thirteen pieces of Yunling Jade.
Jiang Ling couldn't help but take out these Yunling jades and spread them on the bed, the small ones were the size of a ping-pong ball, and the big ones were the size of goose eggs, each round and fluorescent, green and transparent.
"These are worth at least three hundred points, no, four hundred. Although in terms of quality, each piece, or even these together, may not be comparable to the best infinitely blue in the spirit jade. However, it can also provide a lot of help. Jiang Ling couldn't help but be a little happy, Yun Lingyu can independently absorb the spiritual power between heaven and earth, thereby speeding up the concentration of spiritual power around it, and it can also store spiritual power, which can be supplemented by spiritual power when spiritual power is in short supply, which is a very practical treasure for spiritual masters. But then Jiang Ling muttered again: "I also know that there is a spiritual vein on the Holy Mountain of Worm Island, although with my current strength, it is completely impossible to get the spirit jade under the nose of an insect of the level of Cangling Tianniu, but it is inevitable that I will care very much." If you go late, you may be hollowed out by the Qi family. But then again, Qi Hongyi and the Punishment Division both died, neither the Qi family nor the Divine Court could swallow this breath, thinking that conflict was inevitable, and the Qi family might not have the strength to read the Yunling Jade of Worm Island. ”
Then Jiang Ling put away the small pile of Yunling jade and walked out of the room.
I didn't see any acquaintances in the square, but I had agreed with them before that the person who came out first would go to the store and wait, after all, some people came out of the battlefield early and some people came out late, and the time in the narrow room was calculated separately, so it was a waste of time to pick and choose items in the mall.
Jiang Ling walked into the store and saw Sun Xiaolou and Huang Lie at the yellow crystal, they should be browsing something. Jiang Ling walked over and greeted softly, "I'm out." ”
"Came out so late, won again, right?" Huang Lie turned his head and raised his eyebrows and asked.
Jiang Ling sighed lightly and said, "Lost." ”
"Yo? It doesn't look like the expression and the injury. Huang Lie looked Jiang Ling up and down and asked, "Has the enemy completed the task?" ”
"That's right." Jiang Ling looked at Sun Xiaolou and said, "If you look at the standings, help me see how many places I have slipped." ”
"There are still people who haven't come out yet, the standings haven't been updated, they can't be queried, and I'll see it later." Sun Xiaolou smiled at Jiang Ling and said, "If you lose, you lose, it's not a big deal, there is still a chance." ”
Jiang Ling looked at Sun Xiaolou's slightly reddened eyes, and clearly heard a trace of depression from her words of encouragement. Jiang Ling asked, "Lost?" ”
"Hmm." Sun Xiaolou nodded, and then waved his hand freely, and said, "It's okay to say, win it back next time." ”
Seeing that Sun Xiaolou deliberately turned his head to prevent Jiang Ling from looking into her eyes, Jiang Ling naturally understood that this defeat should be quite a big blow to Sun Xiaolou, and the reason why she was sure that the standings were not updated meant that she must have tried to check many times, wanting to see how many places she had regressed this time.
But she still deliberately behaved very optimistic and positive
Encourage yourself. After all, she is a special guest player who can come to participate in competitive games, and she has strong resilience and self-regulation ability, but at the same time, she is also a woman, and she has a fragile and soft side in her heart after all.
Jiang Ling didn't spill the chicken soup, she must have understood the reason, Jiang Ling just smiled at her and said, "That's right, win it back next time." ”
Huang Lie shrugged his shoulders, and then said: "When you think you can't do it, think about me, I haven't entered the standings once in the first five games, and now I can't get to the front." ”
Jiang Ling heard that Huang Lie should have won this game, and he was also happy for him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you win this game, your ranking is estimated to have the possibility of entering the top 100." ”
Huang Lie nodded when he heard this, he didn't seem to be so happy, he said with emotion: "There will be a new knockout tournament soon, and it should be reduced to 300 people, the top 100, but it's really nothing." Then he said: "I saw Sun Yeyu just now, he also lost, when I came out, he had already bought things and was ready to leave, and I briefly said a few words, let me say hello to you, and he went to the practice room." ”
Sun Xiaolou didn't see his brother in front of him this time, but she still said: "The night rain has not been good in these few rounds, and the ranking must have dropped badly, seeing that a new round of knockout matches is about to begin, he will inevitably be anxious." ”
Of course, Jiang Ling would not blame Sun Yeyu for leaving without waiting for a few people to arrive, he also said: "One more strength, one more chance of winning, we all have to work hard." ”
"yes, I've been in the store for ten minutes, and I need to go back to the practice room. As for the intelligence, I am in the Western Tang Dynasty of the Xuanwu Continent in this battlefield, and I am gathering troops over there to prepare to enter the Qin State, but it seems that the date of sending troops has been postponed for the time being because of the intervention of the Divine Court. I heard that the king of Northern Xinjiang ignored the edict of the divine court and continued to lead his army south, vowing to pull his own nephew and the third prince off the throne. But I don't know exactly what it looks like. Huang Lie knew that Jiang Ling and the others had participated in the relevant plots, so he deliberately talked about it.
Jiang Ling also briefly talked about what happened to him in this game.
"Damn, they all ran to the forbidden land." Huang Lie couldn't help but be surprised that Jiang Ling's battlefield actually ran to Worm Island, and then patted Jiang Ling's shoulder again, and said: "Don't complain about this loss, keep coming on, okay, I'm leaving, I really don't dare to waste a minute now." If you see Brother Bao, say hello for me. ”
After speaking, Huang Lie waved his hand at Jiang Ling and Sun Xiaolou and left the mall.
Jiang Ling stood next to Sun Xiaolou, and muttered while opening the store options: "Everyone is working hard." ”
"Well, after all, seeing that the fourth game of the knockout round is about to start, it is inevitable that there will be pressure." Sun Xiaolou smiled after speaking, and laughed at himself: "I am very likely to fall to more than two hundred in this game, if I lose in the knockout round, you may not see me next time you come to the narrow room." ”
Jiang Ling glanced at her with a little distress, couldn't help but touch her head with playful double ponytails, and said softly: "Then I'm very sad, you must appear." ”
Sun Xiaolou stuck out his tongue and said, "I will." ”
Jiang Ling looked at the store, hesitated for a moment and said, "You see, if you have something that you don't have money to buy, I can lend you a little." ”
Jiang Ling was naturally kind and wanted to help her, but Sun Xiaolou shook his head directly and said, "No need to do this." ”
Jiang Ling was a little surprised that she had such a resolute attitude, and said, "In this way, you can have more hope."
"I know you're kind, and I'll treat you as my best friend." Sun Xiaolou didn't look at him, still looking at the yellow water in front of him
Jing, with stubborn and calm eyes, said: "But after all, there can only be one winner's competition, you can't pity anyone, because everyone is your competitor." ”
Jiang Ling smiled bitterly: "But you also helped me before." ”
"At that time, it had just begun, and at this time and then, now half of the number of people has been eliminated, and it will soon enter the white-hot stage. You are not sure to win, how can you still be distracted to take care of others? Sun Xiaolou, who has always been lively and cheerful, had an unprecedentedly solemn expression at this time.
Jiang Ling also nodded and said, "I understand." ”
"This game is important for each of us, and there is no reason to be humble." After saying this, Sun Xiaolou turned his head to look at Jiang Ling, and a smile that was still a little innocent appeared on his face, and said, "For the sake of me being eliminated, can you tell me why you want to participate in this game?" Or rather, what is your desire? ”
Jiang Ling pondered for a moment, but still replied truthfully in a low voice: "In order to cure the disease." ”
"Oh? Are you sick too? Sun Xiaolou was a little surprised, and then said, "Do you need a lot of money?" ”
"Probably so." Jiang Ling didn't say anything about his terminal illness, for fear that Sun Xiaolou would worry about him, he heard the word 'also' in Sun Xiaolou's words, and asked instead, "Are you too?" ”
Sun Xiaolou pursed his mouth and said, "My brother." ”
"Huh? Night rain? Jiang Ling was stunned.
Sun Xiaolou lowered his head and was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Actually, his eyes can't see anything anymore. ”
Jiang Ling was stunned when he heard this, he remembered Sun Yeyu's calm and alert appearance before, and he couldn't imagine that he was blind in real life.
"If it is detected too late, the optic nerve atrophy is very severe, requiring high medical bills, and the longer it is delayed, the more likely it is that it will not recover. If we can win this game, he will have a chance to see the light again. Sun Xiaolou's eyes moistened again, and there was a sense of weakness in her calm tone, but then she wiped her tears casually, raised her chin and said, "But it doesn't matter, after all, there is still hope." ”
"Hmm." Jiang Ling didn't have too good words to comfort her, he could see how close the relationship between the sister and brother was, he was blind in both eyes, and he couldn't see anything anymore, what a painful feeling, Jiang Ling felt palpitations even if he thought about it, and she must be extremely heartbroken as a sister.
"What about you? Is it a serious illness? Sun Xiaolou asked.
Jiang Ling said calmly: "I will die." ”
This time it was Sun Xiaolou's turn to be stunned, she was silent for a moment, and suddenly reached out and hugged Jiang Ling.
She buried her head under Jiang Ling's shoulder and said, "Then you have to work hard." ”
Jiang Ling felt her tears welling up again, raised his hand and wanted to hug her, but finally only patted her shoulder lightly and said, "I will, let's work together." ”
"Hmm." Sun Xiaolou raised his head, looked at Jiang Ling with slightly red eyes, and said very seriously: "You have to promise me, you must go on seriously, and you don't have to sympathize with anyone." Now every time you lose, you may completely lose hope of victory, and you can't afford to be sloppy. Even if you meet me in the next game, you are not allowed to keep your hand, do you understand? ”
Jiang Ling looked at her, and finally nodded slowly, and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”
Sun Xiaolou blinked her eyes vigorously to stop the tears, and then raised the corners of her mouth, dimples appeared, revealing a sunny smile, she gently hammered Jiang Ling's chest, and said, "Come on, big brother." ”
